"I work on four-mou land [less than one acre, a larger than average holding] year in and year out, from dawn to dusk, but after taxes and providing for your own needs, I make $20 a year. You make that much in one day. No matter how much it cost to get there, or how hard the work is, America is still better than this."

Why do Chinese immigrants dislike American born Chinese?

They do? That's interesting. I'm a Canadian born Taiwanese and I've never experienced any sort of discrimination from my Taiwanese classmates (I came back to Taiwan when I was 8). But I know some adults sometimes get a little jealous when they know someone's kid grew up in the States or Canada. But those adults aren't Chinese immigrants, though. I don't see why Chinese immigrants would dislike American born Chinese as many of their kids are probably ABCs or CBAs.
